ComradeKrylenko:

Whatare you doing for the publication of a code of laws
of the Soviet power? Is the codification department asleep
or is it preparing something for the fifth anniversary?

Willyou wake it up and write me a couple of
words.[1]

Yours,Lenin

to Lenin’s letter, informing him that in addition to the already
adopted criminal and criminal procedure codes, the next
session of the All-Russia C.E.C. to be held in October is to consider
the adoption of a code of laws on the judicial system and a code
on civil substantive law.
